Chapter 506: Director’s trump card

Time passed quietly from the water vapor emerging from the tender green Biluochun and slowly dissipated in the clear window. There was silence, as if the whole world had become silent, and the conference room returned to the silent film era for a while.

No one suggested any solution, not even the national master Zhang Yimou said anything. Although he is considered a top representative among directors, his status determines the right to speak. He is still very clear about this.

Here, there are at least three people with higher status than him, Wang Zhongjun, Dong Ping, and Zhang Weiping, or it is not certain that there will be another Ye Ming in a few years. Therefore, at this time, Zhang Yimou, who was originally very silent, became even more speechless, as if he was drowsy and wanted to sleep in this silent silence.

Wang Zhongjun saw that everyone was silent. At this time, he actually understood very well. This was to avoid making mistakes. Obviously the three major companies would not be the first, but if they had to discuss a way this time, then It is estimated that everyone will be unlucky together by then. Therefore, Wang Zhongjun thought for a while and said: "Director Zhang, you should say a few words about this matter first, how should we do it better."

When Zhang Yimou saw that his name was called, he coughed twice and said: "Once this tightening curse is worn, we will not have any good fruits to eat. Needless to say, everyone understands it very well." , no one is willing to say it, so I will say a few words. Resistance is necessary, but the key is to see if everyone is united. Ye Ming, you young people have broad vision and quick thinking. What do you think of this issue? .”

Zhang Yimou is an old ginger and will not be fooled easily, so he kicked the ball to Ye Ming. At this time, Ye Ming looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Is it interesting? What can be discussed through such a discussion? The work, the key is the work that speaks. If there is no good work, it is not a castle in the air to negotiate a share or something. ?

Therefore, if we discuss this way, there will be no sense of achievement at all. In such a matter, as long as we have good works and works that make the theaters excited, we can have bargaining chips with them. Otherwise, even if everyone here goes over to negotiate with the people from the New Film Alliance, will they care? "

The window paper is just such a thin layer, so as long as this layer of window paper is broken, things will become relatively simple in such a situation.

Feng Xiaogang sneered twice, and he didn't know what he was laughing at: "It's boring. Ye Ming knows it. Don't we all remember it? Don't hide it. At this point, I will tell the truth. , I think no one can escape from this matter. I originally wanted to shoot a movie with more literary and artistic themes, but then I thought about it and decided to shoot a comedy movie. After all, this is my specialty, and this one will also be ours. For the Huayi brothers’ major event, we must have a good discussion on the division of the share. It depends on what you think.”

This is the bargaining chip of the Hua Yi brothers. The reason why it was said that it was not said by Wang Zhongjun, but by Feng Xiaogang. This is not to say that Feng Xiaogang took the lead, but that Wang Zhongjun's methods were clever. Feng Xiaogang said it, in case something happens in the future. Wang Zhongjun also had a reason for the change. If Wang Zhongjun said it, things would not be easy to change. This was also discussed between Wang Zhongjun and Feng Xiaogang. The entertainment industry is changing rapidly, and these two have to be careful.

After Feng Xiaogang said that, Zhang Yimou pondered for a while and said: "I have recently said that I have a filming plan, but it is a low-cost film. Whether it can impress those in the theater chain, I can't say, but how much ability can make a big difference In terms of ability, I myself would like to contribute my meager strength to this matter."

Wang Zhongjun felt relieved when he saw that Zhang Yimou had expressed his stance. In fact, he was just waiting for Zhang Yimou to speak. As long as Zhang Yimou spoke, it meant that the matter was actually half successful.

Therefore, at this time, Wang Zhongjun was very excited and said: "It would be great if Director Zhang can support it. Don't be humble. It's a small-cost movie. Your small-budget movie [not one less] will have no impact at all." It’s not small, we can see this for all to see.”

Speaking of this, Wang Zhongjun glanced at Brother Chen Kai intentionally or unintentionally. This made Brother Chen Kai very angry. Originally, Brother Chen Kai actually didn't intend to get involved in this matter. He even said he didn't want to come, but he also wanted to know what Wang Zhongjun and others wanted to do, so he brought My wife came over.

At this time, he saw that Zhang Yimou also expressed his stance. This was the rhythm of forcing him to go to the palace. Everyone in the circle doesn't know that the last thing Chen Kai wants is to fall behind Zhang Yimou.

Therefore, seeing the look in Wang Zhongjun's eyes, Brother Chen Kai wanted to go up and beat him twice, but in the end Brother Chen Kai still said: "My lips are dead and my teeth are cold. I understand this very well. As a director, I don't want to see this matter come to an end." At this point, in the near future, I will have a big production, which should be quite shocking, but it is just a plan. There is still a long way to go before it is actually implemented. As long as there is no problem with funds. , I will try to start by the end of the year, that will be the earliest.

But this counts as my share, we can’t sit still and wait for death. People of the older generation have to bear the wind and rain at critical times. "

Naturally, I said this to Ye Ming and Jiang Wen, especially to Ye Ming. This means that when the matter comes to a critical moment, it will be up to us old guys to support it.

This may mean that most people can hear that it is directed at Ye Ming, but after all, Brother Chen Kai did not name him, and among the people present, the one who can be called a junior is Jiang Wen. .

Therefore, in such a situation, Jiang Wen couldn't sit still. Is this a mockery of my youth?

Just when Jiang Wen was about to say something, Dong Ping said with a smile: "Director Chen has any masterpieces coming out. If you need help, I would like to provide you with some help. Not to mention more, even a few million is no problem. of."

This was also frightened by [Jing Ke's Assassination of the King of Qin]. Otherwise, with Chen Kai's reputation, millions would be nothing, even tens of millions would be considered small change. But Dong Ping had suffered a loss from Brother Chen Kai after all, so he became a little cautious this time.

This also aroused Brother Chen Kai's dissatisfaction. He thought to himself, you are sending a few million to beggar. Bullying is not that easy. Therefore, Brother Chen Kai said with a somewhat unkind expression: "Then I would like to thank Manager Dong here. However, I think the funding gap will be solved. I visited Ms. Xu from Tomson some time ago, and she was quite talkative about this matter. are interested, so the funding gap is probably not a big problem.”

Now that he has the support of Tomson, Brother Chen Kai is just saying a few hypocritical words at this time. After all, the cooperation with Tomson has not yet been signed, and it has not become a matter of black and white. Therefore, he has not fully said that it is him. It will definitely be a big production.

This showed his dissatisfaction, but Dong Ping didn't care. As a businessman, he still had a broad mind at such a time and would not be angry at a word or two from Brother Chen Kai.

But at this time, something was hard to pass. Jiang Wen immediately took over and said: "It's a coincidence. I also have a film. I think it can be shot and become a masterpiece. And this is not a plan, it is already It’s started to work. It’s called [The Devils Are Coming], and it’s considered my own big production. Anyway, I’m very hardworking, so I shouldn’t have any problem winning an international award or something.”

This actually shows Jiang Wen's very strong self-confidence.

Being able to win an award internationally does not mean that you are generally confident.

At this time, Wang Zhongjun finally became excited: "In this way, all four directors will have their own works. If everyone works together, then I think we can achieve great results. We should have enough chips and theaters." The negotiation is over. Ye Ming, you are the only one left to express your gratitude. As the Berlin Best Actor, you cannot just sit back and watch."

Berlin Best Actor, this is a pretty big bargaining chip, and as a director, Ye Ming also has quite gratifying achievements. Therefore, this is an important reason why Wang Zhongjun brought Ye Ming over.

Ye Ming knew that it was impossible for him not to take a stand, and he also knew very well that once the New Film Alliance did this, everyone here would not be able to reap the benefits.

Therefore, Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "I do have such a plan for shooting, but it is not possible for the time being, because I want to shoot Swordsman, and I promised others that it is impossible not to do it, right?

Originally, after The Swordsman, I planned to shoot a palace television drama, which is a very interesting drama about palace fighting, but now that I have encountered this situation, I will advance the movie I planned.

Yesterday I also met Andy. I deliberately invited Andy to star in this movie. It should be a film co-produced with Hong Kong City. The quality, I have not said, is absolutely excellent. "

With Andy Lau, Eric Tsang and other movie stars, how could this not be a powerful film? Ye Ming is still very confident about this movie. It is no exaggeration to say that it will be the most popular movie in Hong Kong in the next ten years.

As he said, he originally planned to film the palace drama first, but now it seems that time does not wait for us. (To be continued)
